To My Daughter,

I will always miss you and love you.
You'll always hold a special place in my heart.

Love,
Mom

As a Grandma and a friend you were there through
thick and thin not knowing that your time here would soon
come to an end. We’re gonna mourn you ‘til we join you
and keep you in our heart because even this sudden
separation couldn’t keep us apart.

Love Darren and Andre

They say memories are golden
Well that may be true

I never wanted memories
I always wanted you

A million times I needed you
A million times I cried

If love alone could have saved you
You would be alive

If tears could build a staircase
And heartaches build a lane
I’d walk the path to heaven
And bring you back again

Our family chain is broken
And nothing seems the same
But as God calls us one by one

The chain will link again

Love Always

Remembering You Always
